20 Rounds of 7.62x39mm Ammo by Tula - 122gr HP

Brass may very well be the highest performing metal available for shell casings, but since it is made primarily of copper which fetches roughly $3.50 per pound, it’s always going to be a relatively costly alloy. Now steel, on the other hand, which is made of iron that costs approximately a quarter per pound -- that is an economical metal. Steel may lack the elasticity requisite to make a reloadable casing, but in terms of sheer affordability it is hard to beat. That’s why Tula, a Russian manufacturer that has been in business since 1880, chooses steel to make this 7.62x39mm ammo’s casings. It makes firing an AK-47 a pastime that truly anyone can afford to enjoy.

These rounds’ casings are coated with polymer to help them feed and extract without hesitation, so you can still fire your semi-automatic as rapidly as you like. The rounds’ 122 grain bullets are hollow points with the capacity for expansion during penetration, although their healthy price tag still suits them for shooting stationary targets. Their non-corrosive Berdan primers and propellant charges are both dependable, so you’ll feel you’re sacrificing very little by opting for such budget-friendly ammo!
